Hip-Hop Head's FIRST TIME Hearing "Zombie" by BAD WOLVES

[@PhantomSaysHi]

I feel like this cover is quite similar to Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence, in that the originals were a plea for change, and the covers are rage from a new generation that the plea has still gone unanswered.

[@csaadelbo]

Agreed.

[@MissAJ-here]

[@Keston1302]

That is really well said.

[@shawngrabert5905]

Totally agree.

[@EvilPoet]

I really love both versions. I feel like the Cranberries version is like a mother´s love, it goes deep in you, its firm but soft and heart warming; while the Bad Wolves version is like a love of a father; hard, more gritty, but caring too. I don´t know man, somethimes i have an idea and I can´t express it exactly like I want, but I hope you get it.

The full story behind Bad Wolves wanting to do this cover is even more heartbreaking. Not many know the whole story, how the original version that Bad Wolves had created was scrapped the morning Dolores passed. Bad Wolves lead singer locked himself away for the next week, and came out with this version, telling the rest of the band this is what they were doing. Of course, all were 100% on board. I have heard this story firsthand from the bass player, who, up until the tour, had worked with an old high school friend of mine. He went on to state that the emotion and energy in the studio that day was incredible, and humbling, with a few of Dolores' family in attendance. Bad Wolves was fully intent on absolute approval from her family before anyone else would hear this. As for the video, again, BW lead singer, Tommy, designed the entire video, and after weeks of shooting footage, they came out with this, simple, yet incredibly powerful and emotional tribute.

Not a metal cover per say, but listen to nine inch nails “hurt”, then listen to Johnny Cash’s version of “hurt.” You wanna talk about doing a song justice. I swear when Trent Reznor originally wrote it, he knew one day Johnny Cash would cover it. You want to talk about emotions. Knowing it was Cash’s last album before he died, and his history, that song hits you right in the feels.

[@icblundell60]

This cover is phenomenal. I can only imagine how much more incredible this would have been if Dolores could have been on it as originally planned.

[@Hellucinogen79]

It is a good metal cover, but yes I have to agree with you that nothing will top the original. Dolores's unique singing voice just defines this song as a whole and is a huge part of why "Zombie" was one of the best decade defining rock/alternative songs of the 90's. Bad Wolves did a great job with this tribute video though. When that female comes on screen drenched in the same gold-painted costume Dolores had on in the original video, you can't help but get a little misty eyed.

The thing about this song is that it's essentially timeless. It's as relevant now as it was in 1994 and will continue to be for many years. Because of that it's arguably one of the most important songs ever released and Delores wrote it when she was only 22.

[@cubiacerebrate1921]

Going on a year since her passing and I still get choked up. I love this version, but the original will always be the best. Even though I was a kid when the original came out, I still loved it. The Bad Wolves did an amazing job keeping it almost as powerful as the original and giving her a huge part in memory.

[@ladyethyme]

2022. The same.

[@Delancreus]

There is no contest, the original version of this song has a haunting beauty brought on by Dolores's voice. However, Tommy and the boys of Bad Wolves did an AMAZING job not only paying tribute to the original version, but updating some of the lyrics to match the times, i.e. "It's the same old theme in 2018" and "with their tanks, and their bombs, and their bombs, and their drones". I wish to god we could have gotten Dolores to reprise her vocals alongside the boys, because that would have been one of the greatest songs ever, but apparently the universe had other plans. Amazing song, and an amazing tribute to Dolores in the video.

[@spiralout.keepgoing...3165]

Her death was completely overshadowed...such a beautiful and talented lady...it pissed me off. Love her.

[@erisptolemy]

Fun fact: Dolores was the one who told them to update the lyrics and she was involved in most of the process of it until she passed. She got taken away way too soon and the fact that people didn’t acknowledge her death like almost every other celebrity death has me so upset.

[@RDxKa0s]

For me the saddest part about the bad wolves cover (What make my eyes water always) is thinking that Dolores might not have even got to hear this song before she past... maybe pieces of it, but Idk about the whole complete track. I think she'd be happy to see zombies success shine through bad wolves when it was losing most of its replay ability on popular musical outlets in current year. I loved listening to zombie when i was growing up, so naturally i really enjoy this cover. Id say both versions are a softer rock vibe.. not really what i know to be metal.. Bad wolves is a metal band tho, but this song cant really qualify for that in my book.

[@Camino377]

For what it's worth, she did. Tommy had the finalized cover sent to Dolores to get her seal of approval before putting it on the record, and she loved it and wanted to sing on it.

If Delores had been on this version, as planned, it would be my favorite. I was afraid to listen to the cover, when I first heard about it. I didn't want to hate a band for ruining something so near and dear to me. Tommy, however, has his own story of tragedy. It bleeds through, quite effortlessly, imo. Check out the song "Stay with me", by Delores. It's a prime example of her hauntingly beautiful voice.

[@Black_SoulGem]

@meaturama she was supposed to be in the bad wolves version. It was planned. But she died HOURS before she was scheduled to come into studio and record her parts. Badwolves decided to go ahead and do the song anyways but make it a tribute to HER.

[@liamwright4674]

the lead singer has a tough story he was almost beaten to death when he came how and found his twin brother had broken into his apartment high off his mind looking for something to steal for money for more drugs, he his brother was arrested hours later and if they hadn't arrested his brother he would have died in his apartment there is so much more to his story and i really admire is strength to be able to talk about everything that has happened to him

React to Opeth Ghost of Perdition live at the roundhouse

[@mickej84]

The new live version from Red rock is better!

[@Cobrachaos96]

Mic Zen Yes it’s look better buts his growls are shit compared to their early days like Roundhouse.

[@mickej84]

@@Cobrachaos96 I actually think the growls sound surprisingly good on that. The new version would sound much better for someone who is not an Opeth fan.

[@Cobrachaos96]

Mic Zen Yes true but I would always suggest roundhouse to get the best version and its when he had a passion for the death growls and then slowly stop doing them almost completely.

[@peterlaca3152]

this is one of the most amazing covers I've ever heard!

React to Dance macabre!

[@JPeeper]

Rats or Faith are infinitely better songs or listen to the awesome Witch Image.

[@Tloo507]

Yuck

[@joeroth3666]

Witch image is fantastic. Dance macabre showed that ghost has amazing versatility in their music. Gives that 80's love rock feel, while witch image has more of a blue oyster cult sound

[@jasonallday5126]

Alex idk if u actually read these but I have to agree with you. The original was just so powerful nit in heaviness of the music, but the message. Although I'm into the heavier music such as Slipknot, Slayer, Rob Zombie etc. I really like the cover as well. It's a profound respect I wish others had.

[@frankmartinez7340]

He is or cirice are way better

[@RunningWithComics]

I have to give it to the original. This Bad Wolves cover was good but I was around when the original came out. That was a very powerful song to me then and when Delores passed it became more of an anthem to me. It wasn't "cool" for a teenage boy to be into the Cranberries back when this song first came out but I bought the CD (and all the rest of their CDs) and rocked out to it on a near daily basis. Delores will always have a special place in my heart as will this song.

[@justahologram2230]

What has to be kinda creepy for the band is that she was supposed to record vocals for the cover the day after she died

[@finiket5436]

I get the "not cool" thing bro being 15, living in outback Australia and being a hardcore metalhead doesn't exactly help my popularity at school

[@spiralout.keepgoing...3165]

Boys who like the Cranberries have always been BEYOND cool in my book.

@@spiralout.keepgoing...3165 That's the truth. Everything changes after high school. The music is always there though. Always.

saw these at download 2019 - it's one way to reduce 30k+ people to tears, especially when the lead performed a tribute to dolores before the track started. very touching moment in my life for sure

[@supermotolunatic]

[@jeremywhitaker9093]

Hey alex, love the channel, long time subscriber. I completely agree with your reaction 100%. Now that you know who bad wolves are you should really really check out some of their other songs as well. I highly recommend "officer down". Please also do a reaction to WAGE WAR song title "Gravity".

[@tannershade6606]

How funny I've suggested Wagewar

[@saltaeyy]

I love Gravity, but just imagine how much he'll headbang to Stitch!

[@jeremywhitaker9093]

SaltyFreekay oh yes for sure, love that song. Thought I'd recommend gravity first to ease him in, then recommend stitch pending a positive reaction, eventually getting him to react to August Burns Red, Northlane, and further into that technical side of metal.

[@fr0zeNstriKe]

Officer down for a new perspective will be great

[@saltaeyy]

Fair enough. Speaking of the more technical side. He needs to listen to another song by Meshuggah, haha.

[@assasinweasel]

You should check out Bad Wolves other songs, in particular you should look at Remember When.

[@mikethompson599]

Probably one of the best covers to date. Not only for there interpretation of the song but the way they honoured Dolores was nothing short of beautiful.

[@maggierezac5820]

Hey Alex, thank you for doing this amazing cover of yet another both timely & amazing song! Here's a bit of backstory about Bad Wolves that you may {or may not} be interested in. Their lead singer, Tommy Vext, replaced Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch so that he could go into rehab, last year. This year, they are touring together! Both Bands! And there is a video here somewhere of Bad Wolves doing Zombie & Ivan jumps onstage & joins in, along with the entire crowd singing along! That was pure magic! Peace all! ✌☮😊🔥🤘💨

[@Cendoria]

Cool story, let us know if you find the link for that live performance

[@maggierezac5820]

@@Cendoria Found it! Audio isn't the best as it is a 'fanmade' video but seeing a healthy Ivan hugging everyone on the stage & Tommy Vext just... Wow. Here's the link. Hope you enjoy! 🤘🔥✌💨 Almost forgot. At the end, it's kinda hard to hear, but Tommy has the crowd yelling, "Friendship in 2018"! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHTMh2Vjq9abqsU

[@kristnicholson3401]

I love this song and this band. I love how they change from "It's the same old theme, Since nineteen-sixteen" to "It's the same old theme In two thousand eighteen" as it is still going on today and how they change the lyrics to "With their tanks, and their bombs and their guns, and their drones" to show that war has moved on and is now using unmanned drones to do the killing. So sad that Delores didn't end up doing the vocals on this tracks due to her untimely dead by accidental drowning in a bath. i think if she would of got to do the vocal I think it would of been something totally different but still special. Love the content, keep it up. Would love it if you did Recognize or Not Enough by Flaw

They perform this song live soooo well it’s an experience everyone needs to go to. The whole crowd was singing along and it was such a vibe I haven’t had before and I’ve been to tons of concerts.

[@danielludlow4434]

First things first cranberries song is amazing was very sad to her passing. Secondly bad wolves is amazing adds so much depth and emotion. You can really tell he was passionate about this song. Now thirdly please please check out Leo Morchali(not sure if I'm spelling the last name right lol). His version is much more heavy metal influenced. He also does all the instruments usually his wife actually did the bass which was super dope. But yes please check Leo I think you will really like it.

[@digitalchapel]

Leo/Frog Leap Studios does amazing metal covers, I'd love to see Alex react to probably any of his metal covers.

[@danielludlow4434]

Same here started following that like 2 years ago. Takes all the crappy pop songs and makes them amazing
